dpd project [VERSION 2!] [Full List of Discs] [FAQ] [Find A Song or Band] [Message Board]      

Welcome to DPD!


The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino.

Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme.

We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives.

Random DPD Pick:


Red Eyes and Tears
by: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
from: B.R.M.C.

Picked By: darpino
For: DPD: 079 - Colors

BRMC finally make it onto DPD! It is only appropriate that we waited so long for the right theme to utilize the right song for their introduction.

"Red Eyes and Tears" is off BRMC's debut album and is the first of many personal favorites of mine that these guys have cranked out over four incredible albums.

These guys were reviving guitar cool, rock swagger, and the whole British guitar-thing before anyone really noticed or cared in the late 90's. I put them down as major contributors to the shoegazer/guitar-effects revival that is paying off in spades this year with Swervedriver and MBV reunions not to mention the dozens of neo-psych guitar copycat bands that are clawing their way into the spotlight even as I type this. Well done fellas!
